Someone broke into my studio over the weekend. As far as I can tell, they only took my stereo, DVD player, and my cordless skill-saw (I loved that thing). They dumped my garbage all over the floor and used the bag. The bastards forgot the DVD remote. Don't they know that player is useless without the remote? Just three days before we move out of that place. I'll be glad to leave.

Then the fingers, one at a time, beginning with the little finger, are slowly closed, with only the thumb remaining extended. The movement resembles that of the hand on a harp."

from The Great International Paper Airplane Book by Jerry Mander, George Dippel, & Howard Gossage, Simon & Schuster, NY, 1967 "The official record, analysis, and fly-it-yourself compendium of high-achievement paper airplanes from the Scientific American 1st International Paper Airplane Competition, held during the winter of '66-'67, an event that has already taken its proper place in aeronautical history. Told by the men who were there. (Illustrated and annotated)"
